- **Discovery & Legal Support**
- Draft and review medical-focused RFAs, SROGs, and RFPs.
- Assist in preparing responses to defense discovery.
- Assemble, label, and bookmark medical exhibits for litigation.
- **Subpoena Defense**
- Review defense subpoenas for compliance and case impact.
- Coordinate retrieval of missing records and advise on production strategies.
- **DME (Defense Medical Exam) Oversight**
- Review DME notices for legal compliance.
- Coordinate with nurse observers, prepare clients, and review DME reports.
- Create rebuttal notes to challenge defense medical opinions.
- **Deposition & Mediation Support**
- Prepare clients for medical testimony.
- Draft strategic rebuttals and medical sections of mediation briefs.
- **Expert & Damages Strategy**
- Identify and vet treating and retained experts.
- Align disability and wage loss claims with medical evidence.
- **Filevine Management & Communication**
- Maintain accurate Filevine entries across medical-related tabs.
- Collaborate with litigation associates, pre-litigation teams, and external providers.
- **Professional Development**
- Attend med-legal training sessions and stay updated on firm SOPs.
- Mentor new team members on medical strategy and documentation.

**Qualifications**
- **Licensed Medical Doctor (MD)**:

- 3+ years’ experience in personal injury, orthopedics, neurology, or related med-legal fields.
